Question
a. Draw the pattern of magnetic field lines produced by a current carrying circular loop showing the direction of current in the loop and the direction of the magnetic field lines.
b. State the rule which can be applied to know the direction of magnetic field lines in the above case.

Answer

a.
Image

b. Right Hand Thumb Rule:- When a current carrying straight conductor is held in the right hand in such a way that the thumb points towards the direction of the current, then the fingers will wrap around the conductor in the direction of the field lines of the magnetic field
